Thiel Owners

I just found some photos of a Satin Black CS3.7 and it does look real sharp.

I am going to the paint store today and will decide between the Satin Black or a Matte Black that perfectly matches the aluminum shell that I spray painted with Krylon Acrylic Lacquer paint (#1613).

That 15 x 20 room sounds ideal for the CS3.7. 

Thanks guys. It looks like I need a bigger amp if I want the 3.6. How much difference sound quality between the 3.5 and 3.6?

@jafant what interconnects do you recommend I have laspada between my pre and my power amp on the thiel system. When I get my arcam I’ll probably keep that systems cables all laspada.  But I am looking to upgrade the cables on my imf system all around. Right now between the pre and amp on that system is an older mit interconnect cable that came with the mh750 speaker cables so I’ll probably be looking in the 300-600 range for a pair of interconnects. 

Hifi 28 I owned the 3.5s and moved on to the 3.6s in my opinion the 3.6s are better. They are both very good speakers but the 3.5 drivers are almost nonexistent as the 3.6s rob gillium can rebuild all the drivers. For that reason alone I would buy the 3.6s over the 3.5s.I had the 3.6s for 25 yrs trouble free and moved on to the cs 7s last yr. hope this helps David 

@hifi28, fitter468’s point about drivers are spot on. But, whether the 3.5’s or the 3.6’s are better comes down to individual preferences. I think if you read through this thread, you’ll find preferences pretty evenly divided for either one.
